Well, this isn't as easy to do as it may initially sound.  Consider that all
of the archives are pulled through the mailman program so creating a
separate link to reply to a thread would first require hacking the mailman
code to add said link and then perhaps hack the user information page in
mailman to add a "reply to" field so when you send a reply to a thread the
mail will have your correct reply address.  Not impossible but not something
that can be thrown together in a few hours either...

If I didn't have so much on my plate right now I'd be willing to help with
it but I just don't have the time..
